You need to go back to the orthodontist and have them fix it before you hurt your gums... Just call them and make an appt.

Call the orthodontist, but in the mean time you can use some wax (you can usually get it at the drugstore or parrafin wax at the grocery store might work) if there are any sharp edges to cover them for the time being. Good luck!

I actually had that happen to me once and the orthodontist was on vacation. So his dad who is a retired orthodontist came in and fixed it for me, how nice was that?

You need to call your orthodontist in the morning, tell them your problem. They will work you in to fix the problem. You won't be charged for the visit, so call them.

You call your orthodontist and schedule an appointment.

well you call your dentist and make a appointment and tell them it is in emergency they will tell you to come in now if the dentist is not close and if it is then they will tell you to come in first thing in the morning when they open.

well you need to go to the dentist and get it back on because then it will get stuck like in the inside of your cheeck and it will hurt and it sometimes hold back on the time you have them on so go asap....
